Unpeople
Together, women constitute a pivotal pillar in any society. After all, each one may be the wife, sister, daughter and, most importantly, the mother, doing most of the work of raising and caring for children. Logically, no woman who is victimized can raise physically and mentally sound children. The inevitable result of such victimization, therefore, is a whole generation of psychologically disturbed children who may rule the world one day. Victimized women would only create terrorists, fascists, dictators - history is already full of those. It follows, then, that ""when we save women... we literally save the world."" This book navigates through different societies and cultures, illustrating many aspects of violence against women that continue to be practiced on a daily basis and to varying degrees. The issues explored here are difficult and reveal a painful side of the human condition, so readers are warned about the sensitive nature of the material covered in this book. Many readers may also be familiar with certain aspects of the material and may even find their own experiences represented within these pages.
